| July Grime Wrap Up, Part Dos | July 18, 2014 |
Son Raw is swimming with the sharks now Part 1 dropped last week, get fully familiar. First up, Celestial Trax has followed up his debut single on Rinse with the Verticals Video for Purple Tape Pedigree (see above), promoting their new streetwear collection and their debut NYC show, next Saturday.

| Wen reaches for Signals of a future past | March 18, 2014 |
Son Raw saw the signs. Before we talk about Wen, let’s talk about Keysound, a label that’s officially having its moment in the sun. Born of the same mid aughts explosion that gave us Hyperdub, Tectonic, and Deep Medi, Keysound’s early records weren’t just left of center – they were left of everything. While future […]

Son Raw’s continuing look at the instrumental Grime scene. Ya ‘dun know.

Butterz just turned 5 this weekend, celebrating with their first Room 2 takeover at Fabric and a 4 hour Rinse session with more or less every major producer that’s ever graced their presence. Looking at that photo, it’s a bit hard not to […]
| Wen’s Hedmuk mix | July 29, 2013 |
Son Raw isn’t easily impressed I don’t usually bother with other blogs to find new music. If it’s big, the majors will pick up on it, if it’s small then it won’t make it past Soundcloud and if it’s rap, someone here’s covering it. Hedmuk is the exception: a small UK outlet that’s gone above […]
